After questioning from the Channel 4 presenter on who would be best to lead the charge for her type of politics, such as green energy proposals, Westwood responded: "Jeremy Corbyn's policies would be people friendly, pro people, his principles are trying to give people a better life,

"I don’t think the government at the moment is trying to do that at all they’re just trying to link up with big business.

"I don’t believe any of the things the government are doing are people friendly at all, I think Jeremy Corbyn has strong principles where he really genuinely wants to help people have light."
